Euro 2012 Qualifying

Denmark always had something borderline on the National team level... it's like they're good enough to unseat a team but not good enough to really make a push.

So here are the playoff games for qualifying:

Ireland vs. Estonia
Czech Republic vs. Montenegro
Portugal vs. Bosnia
Croatia vs. Turkey

The most interesting match up will be Portugal vs. Bosnia. Portugal is reeling after a loss that put them out of auto-qualifying, when they only needed a draw to win the group. Bosnia should have beat France in Paris, but they drew and have been playing extremely well.

Croatia and Turkey will be interesting as well, because it is a similar situation as Portugal and Bosnia. Croatia could have won the group and Turkey earned their way here with a rally in the last few games to pass Belgium. The last time these two nations met is was a very exciting game.

Ireland got the worst team of the bunch, and if this was ever a time to get back to the tournament, now would be the time. Czech Republic should out power little Montenegro for their spot in the tournament.

My picks:
Ireland
Czech Republic
Bosnia
Turkey

Ireland has to be favored there, but its the only mismatch of the four.

Portugal should be so much better, good players almost everywhere, but it just does not come together. The announcer was saying the main problem is that the country doesn't produce strikers....going back decades. And Bosnia is no pushover with Dzeko......and Montenegro is even better. The ex-Yugoslavian countries must be sports crazy, they put a lot of guys into the highest levels of soccer and basketball relative to their size.

But Germany......like someone said earlier more and more people are seeing them as legit challengers to Spain. Not only do they look dangerous every time out, but Bayern - which is most of the German starting 11 - has a something like 23/0 goal differential in the league this year.

Now finally Spain has won the tournament.It is truth that football is really by kick in which you are not sure about your victory,the very uncertain game.So let me tell you one thing that Spain was really deserved for this and finally he is Victorian.
